My first card features elements from the Classic and Premium September My Monthly Hero Kits.

To create this card I first stamped a couple of images and a sentiment from the Autumn Critters Stamp Set (Premium) onto the front of an A2 top-folding white card base in INTENS-ified Black Ink. I did stamp the bear first, then created a mask and stamped the fire. Next, I copic colored the images and then created a mask for the fire. I placed the bear and fire masks over the images and then ink-blended with Lemon Drop, Moss and Forever Green. When I finished ink-blending the card front I then removed the masks.

Next, I die cut an A2 panel of Palm cardstock with the Coordinating Fall Window Die (Classic & Premium). I then ink-blended over the die cut foliage with the Coloring Layering Stencils (Classic & Premium) and Forever Green Core Ink.

Once I finished ink-blending with the stencils I then ink-blended the corners of the panel with Forever Green and INTENS-ified Black Ink. Lastly, I finished the card by adhereing the panel onto the card front with foam adhesive.

My next card features the Tree Stump Fancy Die and the Fall Gnome Fancy Die.

To create this card I first die cut the all the elements for the stump/foliage and gnome out of colored cardstock (Antique Ivory, Sand, Cup O’ Joe, Pesto, Lapis, Coral, Cranberry, Mustard, Granite and Pitch Black).

I then fussy cut my elements out and then copic colored or ink-blended the layers to add depth.

Next, I adhered the layers together and then arranged the scene and adhered it to the card front with foam adhesive. Lastly, I finished the card by stamping a sentiment from the Happy Gnome Stamp Set in INTENS-ified Black Ink.
